Customer Reviews
The First Four Years - Laura Ingalls Wilder
I loved this book, but it is quite a shame that Laura never properly finished the book, also it's a real shame she didn't go into as much detail about her life as she did in the other books. Overall Laura Ingalls Wilder is a wonderful author.
Not like the others...
This is a book to read if you want to find out about Laura Ingalls Wider’s early married life. However, its tone is flat compared to the Little house books, the descriptions are not vivid nor compelling. The reader is forewarned; as explained in the forward, this book was published from papers and was not prepared for publication by the author, nor edited by her daughter as the others had been. It also lacks the optimism of the earlier books, where despite terrible hardship the spirit comes through. The harshness, lack of balance and unresolved themes likely reflect the reality of life more closely than the more balanced little house books. This is for historical interest more than an enjoyable read.
